Of the many great things about Christopher Nolan’s final Batman blockbuster The Dark Knight Rises, Academy Award-winning composer Hans Zimmer’s bombastic, sensational score is certainly one of the greatest. Zimmer, who previously brought musical life to films like Gladiator, The Last Samurai, and Pirates of the Caribbean, helps create a Gotham City that feels almost real. Reality Jockey is looking to finish the job with The Dark Knight Rises Z+, an “augmented soundtrack experience.”

Similar to the developer’s work on the Inception soundtrack, another Nolan-Zimmer collaboration, The Dark Knight Rises Z+ takes sounds from the real world and filters them through the sounds and music of the film to immerse the user in an altered reality. Alongside its atmospheric audio effects, the app features a BAT flight simulator, commentary with Nolan and Zimmer, and an extended “Origins” soundtrack with new, exclusive songs.

Enter Gotham before it turns to ashes. The Dark Knight Rises Z+ is available now for free on the App Store. The Dark Knight Rises is in theaters now.

Comic book fans are having an awesome year. The Avengers has come and gone, demonstrating just how fantastic Marvel comics are. Next up, we’ve got the darker worlds of The Amazing Spiderman and The Dark Knight Rises.

Courtesy of Gameloft, we’ve just been sent a pretty cool trailer for The Dark Knight Rises iOS game in preparation for its release this summer around the same time as the movie.

While we don’t have many details about the game, the trailer is looking pretty neat with a vibe that will be very familiar to players of Arkham Asylum and Arkham City for consoles and PC. Combat seems set to play a major role here and there’s a suggestion of free roaming gameplay, also. Hopefully, there’ll be gadgets aplenty in the full release later this year.

We’ll be sure to keep you up to date on all the latest developments but for now, enjoy the trailer!

One of the biggest comic book films of all time is set to be released in the US this coming weekend in the form of The Avengers.

I’m one of those lucky people to have already seen it thanks to being based in the UK (go see it this weekend, it’s awesome) but I didn’t get the chance to interact with fans through Movie Clock.

Movie Clock is an app that not offers plenty of fun features for a low price.

There’s a countdown timer for all the biggest movie releases like The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises but it also offers a portal for checking out local showtimes, buying tickets directly, checking out movie trailers and interacting with other fans via the app’s “check-in” feature.

It’s a great all rounder for movie fans and with summer blockbuster season creeping up, it’s an ideal time to check it out.

Movie Clock is out now, priced at $0.99.
